These are more of Strathearn's DS43 series but they are significently smaller than the DS43 Jumbo Large so I have designated these as DS43 Jumbo Small weights. They are still taller than the older D4 Flower weights but not as wide. They are smaller versions of the Jumbo Large and again modeled after the D4's with five petaled flowers over three green leaves and rising over five twisted double strands of latticino. Again, I have no idea of when Strathearn began to make these or how many per year might have been made but I have not seen one earlier than the S73 one shown. Shown below are examples from 1973, 1974, and 1975.
